Word Processing

One of the great advantages of word processors is that you can type continuously until you reach the end of a paragraph. Only then should you press the Enter key.

As you type, any words that pass beyond the right margin automatically wrap around to the next line. Should you change margin widths or insert and delete text, the text will automatically wrap itself around to the next line as it passes the right margin.

If you end lines by pressing Enter, the computer assumes you are marking the end of a paragraph. When you modify margins or insert and delete text, the line ending with an Enter key will not wrap around to the next line.

By pressing the Enter key, you place a code or marker called a "hard" paragraph break within the text. "Soft" paragraph breaks occur when you allow the text to wrap onto the next line. This is done simply by continuing to type!

To type a new character or to add more words into the middle of the text, place the insertion point where you want the word or words to start and simply begin typing. The existing text is pushed aside and wrapped around to the next line to allow space for the new text.

3). Once you have edited your document, click the Save button on the toolbar to save your changes.
4). Print a copy of your document.
